The promise of wearables, functional fabrics, the Internet of Things, and their “next-generation” technological cohort seems tantalizingly within reach. But researchers in the field will tell you a ...

Just recently I was writing an article on antennas and was looking for some details that were not familiar. I have been around wireless for quite a while and have designed and built many antennas ...

As the space industry evolves its focus from large satellites to smaller ones with the same functionality, there is a growing need for the hardware on board to shrink as well. A group of mechanical ...

Apple’s iPhone 4 antenna issue represents a classic example of what can go wrong in modern antenna design. Put one in the wrong place, and a seemingly insignificant part can turn a cool new product ...

As more devices are equipped with communications capabilities, the number of antennas will explode. That creates new challenges on every level. A simple rule when it comes to electronics is that while ...

Engineering researchers report a method for spraying invisibly thin antennas, made from a type of two-dimensional, metallic material called MXene, that perform as well as those being used in mobile ...

Jennifer Choy makes atom-size antennas. They bear no resemblance to the telescoping rod that transmits pop hits through a portable stereo. But functionally, they're similar. They're quantum sensors, ...

The folded unipole has been in use in AM broadcasting for more than four decades, providing adequate time to view it in retrospect. Perhaps the earliest instance that it appeared in print was in Radio ...

Antenna design, fabrication, and performance verification are key to the success of both the astrophysics program and the satellite telecommunications program. To support these efforts, a free space ...
